Midnight had skillfully finished off the entire portion of giant boa meat she was given and even managed to steal a skewer from Walker. She rushed off with her prize and made it disappear before returning to her napping. Walker was left in slight frustration but couldn't help it, he loved her too much to be angry with her.

The mages were eager to take the insights they had gotten from the break and start to apply them to their own experiments. Many of the spell swords had grasped new ideas when it came to crystal swords for them to use which was a huge motivator for them.

The dual elemental spel sword had show off the attacks and new style of fighting that she could use which further encouraged them. The spell swords had set up an array of different dummies that resisted certain elemental manas and were practicing fervently.

Walker looked at the pile of half finished crystal arrows and stretched his arms to get ready to start the shaping. He knew that he would need to make the arrow head sharp and balanced so he planned on using the same technique as he did with the blade. Since the crystal mage was new to this it would be more challenging since he was learning with him.

On the up side, Walker knew that the arrow only needed a smaller empty space in the arrow head instead of a larger complicated shape. It would need some minor reinforcing bit not in the same manner as the weapon and mouldable crystal ball. Mostly because of the fact that Gil would be adding mana using his own skills which would be more gentle to the arrow than bonding and trapping elemental inside.

They two took an arrow in their hands and started to softly chip away at the arrow heads. Walker saw that the crystal mage was using the smaller chisels to make the arrow head perfectly balanced. Walker followed suit and also used the smaller chisels finding that they were easier to manipulate the smaller piece of crystal with.

The small slivers of crystal that fell down were easily made to condense in to a pile by a nearby earth mage that was watching the crystal mage work. It was the same one from the previous day making Walker believe that he was a mentor of some kind.

The arrow heads that took shape were rough at first since they needed more time and care than the entire large blade of the sword. This was a lot of small detail work that paid off in the end. The crystal mage was working faster due to his comfortable experience working with the crystals already.

Walker looked as the crystal mage strengthened the edges of the arrow head making them smooth and viciously sharp. He was impressed by the skill even though it was the crystal mages' first time making an arrow with the crystal crafting skill.

The first arrow that was manipulated to have an open space like the weapons had worked out nearly perfect. The crystal mage only took a few minutes to create it and showed Walker the ease it could be done. Walker and he spoke for a moment before Walker was able to catch up and create the space within the arrow head as well. The two were happy with their success and quickly moved on to the other arrows.

In the course of another two and a half hours, they had become more efficient and completed a total of forty five of the arrows. Unfortunately, they had lost five arrows to imperfections or cracks. This was a very good margin for their first attempts and Walker couldn't help but be proud.

"They look great. I know they don't have mana but I think they will work very well for what I want them to be used as." Alma had just finished speaking with an enforcer and had the crystal that was being held for them brought over. With the help of others, she had the crystal arrows carted off while Walker and the crystal mage looked at the crystal before them.

"This is the crystal that the beast chains are made from. It is commonly known as a leech crystal since it absorbs the mana around it like crazy. This makes it very tough and great for items that need mana imbued within." Alma gave Walker an educational explanation so that he could better understand the value and what they were working with.

"So why doesn't this become some form of elemental mana crystal?" Walker knew that a similar thing would happen with the elemental mana crystals and couldn't see what stopped it from happening with this crystal.

"That i simple, the way the crystal is shaped down to the smallest facets stops it from permanently bonding with any one element. It is technically a defective elemental mana crystal. But it works perfectly for other items so it is an insult to say it is defective." The crystal mage was nearly vibrating with excitement now that the large leech crystal was in front of him.

"So I can already imagine the shape of a sword, but do we have a more specific shape to replicate?" Walker knew this leech crystal was available and rare due to the slow growth of their variation. He didn't want to make a mistake in crafting the sword along with the crystal mage.

"I thought you would ask that. I had one of the elemental spell swords used by the commander of the spell swords brought over. She wasn't happy to part with it, but she can't say no to me." Alma said this with a sing song voice that made Walker flinch. He felt that Alma wasn't afraid in the least to throw around her power as the future queen.

"Then we are all set. We can copy the sword brought to us and make it perfect." The crystal mage watched as the high quality elements sword was placed down next to them. All the two could feel was the flowing air elemental mana from the air elemental runes carved in to it. The quality that they had to compete with was very high.
